As showcased in the Microsoft Connect 2016 conference, .NET Core is all over the place. Right now, we've got servers, containers, IoT devices, and even TVs that are shipped with compact Core distributions enabling all sorts of scenarios we could only imagine in the past. It is time to catch the wave and prepare ourselves for the wide ecosystem of .NET Core enabled platforms that will be on the market very soon. To understand what's in the newest Microsoft framework, we need to understand the introduced .NET Standard. During this meetup, Dmitry Podrezov will guide us behind the curtain of .NET Core platform and solutions using the latest development tools and typical samples. Join us to learn: • .NET Core Platform motivation and principles • Its main components • Common tasks and tools • Ways to contribute. This presentation will be fairly technical, so previous understanding of basic .NET programming is required. AGENDA:
